At 18, Barron Trump is ready to step into the political world, learning the ropes from his father, former President Donald Trump, while navigating the bumps along the way. Although he’s long stayed under the radar despite being part of America’s First Family, Barron is now eager to come into his own. Standing at a towering 6-foot-7, he’s ready to join his older siblings Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric, and Tiffany on the public stage, according to The Daily Mail.
A soccer and computer enthusiast, Barron is fluent in both English and his mother’s native Slovenian. His low-key presence over the years has been largely by design, thanks to the dedicated efforts of his mother, former First Lady Melania Trump. Melania, 54, acted as a gatekeeper, shielding her son from the harsh political gamesmanship surrounding the former president.
“Barron is handsome, tall — taller even than his father – and very knowledgeable for someone his age,” A Trump source told The Daily Mail. “He’s also far more politically interested than people realize.” “I see all the attributes of a future President if he has the appetite for it. And why not? He has the Trump genes.” He also speaks more languages.
“While he was still a minor she zealously protected him and we knew very little about the details of his daily life,” the Mail source said. “I think he’s allowed to make more decisions for himself now. He can invite anyone to dinner he wishes. He’s slowly becoming more public.”
However, since turning 18 in March, Barron has been granted more independence. Sources close to the family revealed to The Mail that his parents are now giving him more freedom to explore his interests and mingle with conservative influencers.
Barron has been spotted rubbing shoulders with prominent conservative figures such as Iranian-American businessman Patrick Bet-David, entrepreneur Justin Waller, and MMA fighter Colby Covington. His best friend, 17-year-old Bo Loudon, is described as a rising conservative influencer and is the son of TV personality Dr. Gina Loudon and former Missouri state senator John William Loudon.
Despite his new autonomy, Barron has not been immune to a few youthful mishaps. The Mail reported that he and Bo were involved in a “fender-bender” at the Mar-a-Lago private club after crashing a golf cart into a Secret Service kiosk. According to a source, “It was all very minor, a fender bender. It just shows that these boys are rambunctious.”
The source went on to describe Barron and Bo’s antics at Mar-a-Lago: “Barron and Bo kind of run around Mar-a-Lago like Eloise in the legendary children’s books about the little girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel.”
On his PBD Podcast, Bet-David spoke highly of Barron, calling him a “freaking stud of a kid.”
Embracing his new public role, Barron seems ready to handle media scrutiny. He reportedly told Bet-David, “It’s officially fair game to come after me. I don’t care. Good, do it. They’ve gone and done it to every kid.”
While he prepares to step into politics, Barron maintains his interests in sports and computers. With his newfound freedom, he aims to forge his path while learning from his father’s political legacy. As he continues to navigate the challenges of being a public figure, he remains determined to shape his own identity in the Trump family.
The journey ahead will undoubtedly come with its share of challenges, but Barron Trump appears prepared to face them head-on, embracing the public spotlight with confidence and enthusiasm.
